Years later, that very experience, coupled with the frustrations of a hair market flooded with chemical-ed products, motivated her to develop a natural hair and body care range she named NativeChild —a representation of who she is: A proud African woman with strong roots. What sets her apart is that she makes the effort to go the extra mile by educating coloured and black women on what is best suited for them individually.

My Shack is a riveting story about growing up on the Cape Flats during the dying days of Apartheid and on the dawn of South Africa’s new democracy. As the nation came of age, so did I. We’ve all had those moments in life where we felt like we could no longer keep going and that the pain and heartache of our past is our lot in life. I am here to tell you that it does not have to be so. My desire is that as you embark on this journey with me, that hope will light the dark areas within your soul and that you will begin to experience the healing, the joy and the fulfilment of all that life has to offer.
